The invention consists in a. nntterial made et (luck, muslin, or other woven tl'rbric, {"aeed with oil-cloth, the two being; attached together, with or without a. tiller, in u. solid compact sheet, from which the ends and other portions are afterward cut.

In carrying out my invention l malte use ot' heavy duck, muslin7 or other woven fabric, and light oil-cloth, which has a body ot' thin mus! liu, and may be ornamented as desired. vl'or a iilling, when a heavier materia-l is required, l use paper or coa-rse cloth. These materials are laid together .n sheets, attached by glue or other adhesive substance, and l'ormed int-o a solid compact sheet by pressure applied by rollers or otherwise. The duck or muslin forms the back otI the sheet and the oil-cloth the face. From this sheetl the suspender ends, tips, backs, 85e., are cut and attached to the susl'iender in the usual manner.

This material is strong` and durable, and has the. required llexibilitgY and other elmracteristics ot leathernecessaigv lor the purpose,wl1i1e beingl much cheaper than leather.
